*1 : The PCIe x16_3, USB3_E56 and SATAExpress_E1 connectors share the same bandwidth. The PCIe x16_3's default setting is in Auto mode that automically optimizes the system bandwidth. If you use two of these connectors, the system automatically disables the unused connector.*2 : M.2 Socket 3 shares bandwidth with SATAExpress_1*3 : These functions will work depending on the CPU installed.*4 : These SATA ports are for data hard drivers only. ATAPI devices are not supported.*5 : Ensure to install your ThunderboltEX II/DUAL card in PCIeX16_3 slot, and configure the bandwidth to x4 mode in BIOS for better performance if needed.*6 : Provides link from the motherboard's DisplayPort to the DisplayPort IN port on the ThunderboltEX II/DUAL card.
